I've been slowly working on these Horus Heresy Word Bearers and Iron Hands space marines over the past month.
Word Bearer legionaries squad with bolters. Iron Hands legionaries squad with bolters.

my tierlist of the different frog emoticons from various services/platforms. it's pretty normal except for the lowest tier, which is called "FROGS DON'T HAVE TEETH ASSHOLE" and the only emoticon is that google frog with the teeth

Snake bites - Just a small watercolor painting.
Moody watercolour drawing of an East Asian girl with shoulder length hair holding on her left hand with her right hand. There is a snake bite lightly bleeding on her left wrist. She is wearing a black dress with the straps falling off her shoulders slightly. She has one tattoo of a snake coiling up her upper right arm, and a tattoo of blackberries on her left shoulder. There is an albino snake in the backdrop that is curled into an infinity symbol, biting its own tail, like an ouroboros.

Hunting Song - Illuminated manuscript inspired drawing (and maybe because I loved the end credits of the DnD Honor Among Thieves movie)
Profile view of a light brown skinned elf girl with a grey undercut set in an illuminated manuscript style page. On the top there are the phases of the moon, and to the sides there are hands with vines, and a hand shooting a pillar of fire. On the bottom there is a rabbit being chased by grey hounds, all running across clouds.

Some Savannah Masters from Battletech in the St. Ives 1st Lancers paint scheme. They were a fun treat after finishing my 16 mechs.

This mermaid is matching with her bestie. Axolotls are just so cute 💖
Watercolour illustration of a mermaid with pink hair holding an axolotl that is very big, like the size of a large dog. There is a mint/teal coloured scalloped heart in the background.

Painted up some battletech minis (BattleMaster here) for the 1st St. Ives Lancers, when they were separate from the Capellan Confederation. I had fun doing an approximate embalm and flag on the legs.

Do you have plants growing out of your eyes as well? 🌱
A drawing/watercolour of a girl with green eyes and purple-blue hair looks distressed as a long fern-y vine-like plant sprouts from her left eye.

Sometimes things are scary.
A cute, green stegosaurus looking up at the starry, night sky, where a meteor looks like it is about to strike. The poor thing looks like it is about to cry, but is still trying to smile through the pain. There is a lot of green foliage surrounding the little dinosaur and some mountains in the distance.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital.

CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one

panel 1: a person is pointing on a bed where cats are lying in a way that leaves a vaguely human outline in the middle, saying "this is my hole!! it was made for me!! panel 2: a twisted shape of a person lies on the bed, screaling silently as the cats sleep peacefully in random positions

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

People forget that doing multi-year long projects costs a lot of money in labor. While I love plenty of part-time/free-time developed games, I don't think that should be the norm.

That’s without senior dev level salaries and would only really work in the Midwest or lower cost of living areas. Bugsnax was roughly $1M per year with only salaries. And then there’s voice acting/recording, legal, office rent, office + liability/loss/error insurance, equipment and licensing, etc.

I've seen this, multiple access databases and excel spreadsheets making up a tool with 20+ years of history like this and it is the worst.

I Will Fucking Dropkick You If You Use That Spreadsheet ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-...

“You don't have to live like this. … Just put the spreadsheet down and we can work with databases. Do you remember databases, and possibly happiness?”

(via @copystar.bsky.social’s excellent newsletter)
A sane engineer would come to you, palms upturned, arms wide, and preach the virtues of Excel in a conciliatory tone. "It really empowers non-technical staff"', they would say. "The democratization of data is an important element to the modern workplace, and it is an incredible testament to Excel's flexibility that it has enabled so many people to leverage the power of computing." But that is a mere sane engineer, the first to die in the revolution, and when you have seen enough of what happens when you yield to this blatant cowardice, you move beyond mere sanity, into righteous logic so cold that it burns like fire. I tell you now, if you suggest that we put that spreadsheet anywhere near any process, no force on this planet will save you from me. This Is Gatekeeping Yes. I have put this gate here and I am keeping it for a reason. The last time I stopped keeping this gate, I wrote a Python script that took a spreadsheet as an input, ran regular expressions in it against a database, spat out ten more spreadsheets, then used those to power a generic PowerBI template which had to have all ten spreadsheet targets repointed by hand. This became one of the most requested services my team performed for several months. Someone should have fucking stopped me, and I must pay for my crimes by keeping this gate forever. I swear to you, there is nothing good past this gate. Turn away. Turn away. I beg you, turn away. Beyond this lies naught but trying to work out why all the numbers are wrong, only to realize that Excel thought those IDs were integers and dropped all the leading zeroes. This death is a kindness.
